The 2022 Acura TLX Type S could be the brand’s sportiest sedan so far.
While its engineers are confident that the new TLX Type S has what it takes in terms of capability and performance, they wanted the public to know that the sports sedan can compete by taking their act to the 2022 Tire Rack One Lap of America.
Acura TLX Type S: Testing Its Performance, Handling, And Durability
A team of Acura engineers – racing under Honda of America Racing Team (HART) – will compete in this year’s edition of One Lap of America.
While the contest’s name seems conservative, it's actually a road rally that spans across 3,200 miles and 12 states -- all in eight days - the event will start and end at the Tire Rack headquarters in South Bend, Indiana.
Two engineers from Honda's North American Auto Development Center -- Nicolas Hammann and Clifton Ching -- will compete in the Luxury Stock Touring class of the race.
The duo will drive a turbocharged 2022 Acura TLX Type S in various events, including timed ones, at nine racetracks across the U.S.
Acura’s aim in entering 2022 One Lap of America is simple -- to further test the performance, handling, and durability of the TLX Type S under extreme conditions.
